As a result of these matches, Notts are now equal with Kent- who are engaged with Somerset at Taunton. Northants fall below both Hampshire and Gloucester but both these counties have stiff encounters to get through-the results will be published to- morrow-Hampshire being hosts to the champions at Southampton and Gloucester visiting Man- chester Lo play Lancashiro. Another match the result of which is expected to-morrow, is Glamorgan v. Surrey, at Cardiff and Hobbs should have further opportunity for making centuries.

Of the fixtures which commence to-morrow-a full list is given below the most important is that at the Oval where Surrey play Yorkshire. Earlier this season Yorkshire won and Surrey will be out for revenge. Last year Surrey, won in rather startling fashion, This year Surrey must win out- right to keep in the running for the championship.
